Whilst small in number, Don College students have had some outstanding performances throughout the 2020/2021 Rowing season.  Tahnee Schultz and Abbey Badcock have competed at the club level with the Ulverstone Rowing Club, whilst Prue Tippett and Lydia Tippet have competed for the Mersey Rowing Club.

In recent times, Lydia and Prue have competed in the Tasmanian Schools Championships and the 2021 Australian National Rowing Championships. Of particular note, Lydia and Prue placed second in the School Girls Double Skull and placed fourth in the School Girls Eight in a composite with St Brendan Shaw.

At the Australian National Rowing Championships, Lydia placed second in the B Final of the School Girls Under 19 Single Skulls for Don College. Pru and Lydia were also successful in securing a Bronze Medal in the Under 19 Women’s Coxless Four for the Mersey Rowing Club.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank and recognise Tahnee, Abbey, Lydia and Prue for their professional conduct, competitive spirit and contributions to rowing for Don College over the past two seasons.
